Dog mess

A dog owner has been fined £850 for allowing his dog to foul in the street - full story in tomorrow's Ipswich Star. Is this too harsh? Or is it the right warning shot to irresponsible dog owners? Is there an issue where you live? Which is the worst ... more »

Problem with fining people is that many of those who do not have the income to pay. Will never pay. All that happens is they cost the courts more in dragging them back to Fines Enforcement Courts. Where culprits means have to be taken into account. Many ... more »

S here
to get a gas bottle you have to pay (rent) for bottle and money for gas if you supply a bottle you only pay for gas I think you will find it in most places if someone know different let us know
Trevor G
I got mine from B & Q, you buy the gas and pay a deposit to cover the bottle, should you return the bottle at some point, the deposit is returned. Keep the paperwork however.

Hope the Diceman doesn't mind me "hijacking" this post, but there will be a pub quiz team from Suffolk Friends there too, including the Diceman, so it would be an opportuntity to meet some of us.
thediceman
Do not fear for the pub quiz is merely an evening event (7-9pm) and probably for those attending the beer festival section rather than for the foodies. For me I'll be using both sections of the festival as I'm a glutton :) It's a shame they didn't ... more »
